Ingredients for Crab Norfolk

  • Lump Crabmeat
  • Butter
  • Champagne Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Hot Sauce

How to Make Crab Norfolk

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, crème fraîche, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and chives. Avoid overmixing to preserve the texture of the crab.
  3. Lightly grease a small to medium-sized oven-safe baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches or similar).
  4. Spread the crab mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the crab is heated through and the topping is lightly golden brown. Watch closely to prevent over-browning.
  6. Let stand for 2-3 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra chives, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
